Ohjaaja Antoine Fuqua ja Denzel Washington ovat saaneet valmiiksi rainan Equalizer 3 - The Final Chapter, joka saadaan katsottavaksi Suomessakin varsin pian. Kaksikko muistetaan myös vuoden 2001 elokuvasta Training Day, joten miten olisi jatkoa (tai oikeastaan esiosaa)? Ohjaajan mukaan aika on ajanut ohi, ja melkein 70-vuotias Denzel Washington on jo liian vanha.
"There was a time when a prequel for Training Day sounded interesting, but it would have had to be done with Denzel back then, when he was closer to that age. It would have been exciting what he did in Vegas. I just don't think it would be the same without him."
